Roy Keane has admitted to arguing with a woman at a Neil Diamond concert for "singing too loud" in a hilarious moment live on TV.
The Manchester United legend is part of the ITV punditry team covering England's Euro 2020 semi-final against Denmark at Wembley.
It saw them produce a segment on the song 'Sweet Caroline', which has become an anthem for the Three Lions under Gareth Southgate.
And viewers were treated to a video message from the song's writer Neil Diamond, showing his support from across the pond in the USA.
Presenter Mark Pougatch took the chance to ask Keane – famed for his no-nonsense approach to football and punditry – for his thoughts on the singer.
And Keane's colleague Gary Neville revealed that the 49-year-old had once been to a Neil Diamond concert – but he still managed to get into a fight.
The Irishman replied: "He's brilliant. [I went] About 10 years ago, but I ended up arguing with the woman next to me.
"She kept singing all the songs out quite loud so I ended up in a bit of trouble that night…but brilliant concert."
Which do you think is the better song – 'Sweet Caroline' or 'Three Lions'? Let us know in the comments section.
Neville and Ian Wright were left in stitches as Keane chuckled to himself ahead of England vs Denmark.
The ITV team are being joined at Wembley by 60,000 supporters, with the winning team earning a place in the Euro 2020 final against Italy on June 11.
While 'Sweet Caroline' will echo around the ground if the Three Lions are successful, another song expected to be heard is 'Three Lions' by David Baddiel and Frank Skinner.
But Keane's fellow ITV pundit Graeme Souness believes the song should be banned at Wembley after the disappointment against Croatia three years ago.
The Scot wrote in his Times column: “If I was Gareth Southgate, sitting down to write his Russia 2018 report for the Football Association, then top of my notepad would be the following: never allow that song, Football's Coming Home, to be played again during a major tournament.
“Football's coming home, is it? So, England effectively own the sport. I don't think so.
“They didn't have a monopoly on it when their teams and the FA were big players in the global power game back in the last century, and they don't now.”
